You can switch to synthetic any time after 10k miles. That said, 10k is a guideline and not a rule.
I put Redline in my tranny and didn't like the cold weather results. Once warm, it shifted like butter. People have been pleased replacing with the Honda tranny oil.

Mobil 1 is fine for the engine. You could use Red Line or the Honda stuff for the trans. For the rear-end you could use RL, Honda or Mobil.

I think the whole 10k-20k waiting period thing is a bunch of hooey.
